** There is a residual effect to account for, but no solid historical data to support.

Other Potential
Savings or Costs

No savings
calculation for pre-treating sidewalks which uses a higher cost de-icer

Additional labor
savings from potential less Overtime since anti-icing can be done during
regular scheduled hours

Additional costs if
there is a need to de-ice after anti-icing when a similar result would happen
if just de-iced
